This typeface is a stylized sans with tall, slender proportions and sharply tapered strokes. Stems stay mostly straight and clean, while many terminals end in subtle flares or pointed, wedge-like cuts that create a crisp, faceted rhythm. Curves are controlled and geometric, with rounded forms often transitioning into angled joins, giving letters a carved, ornamental feel without true serifs. Overall spacing reads even, but with noticeable shape-driven irregularities that add character and a slightly dramatic texture in text.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, book or film titles, packaging, and brand marks where its sharp, ornamental construction can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the distinctive terminals and narrow silhouettes make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone feels Art Deco–leaning and theatrical, combining refinement with a hint of gothic or cabaret flair. Its sharp terminals and elongated silhouettes suggest sophistication and vintage poster culture more than neutral modern utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a vintage-modern, Deco-inspired voice with crisp geometry and sharpened terminals, offering a distinctive alternative to conventional sans styles for expressive editorial and branding work.
Uppercase forms present strong verticality and a display-like stance, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic inflections (notably in letters with tails and hooked terminals). Numerals follow the same faceted logic, mixing straight-sided geometry with rounded bowls for a cohesive, decorative set.
